Speaking about her son Freddie, Bland went on: ‘I have a Whatsapp group with Steve’s sister where I send her things I want for Freddie and his future. The things that might overwhelm and upset Steve now but she will make sure happens.

‘The main thing is that, while he’s so young, I want him to remember me in some way.’

Following the news of her diagnosis, Bland’s humorous ‘You, Me and the Big C’ podcast has reached number one in the UK podcast charts.

Alongside friends Deborah James and Lauren Mahon, Bland has documented her cancer from first discovery, to being told it was incurable in May of this year, to finally being warned there were just days left.
